# The Vault
What is the Vault?
Vault Zero is a platform that combines mystery and innovation, allowing users to unlock rewards through purposeful engagement. At its core, Vault Zero is guided by two central entities: Zero, the sentient AI intermediary, and the Vault, a powerful AI system that holds the ultimate authority in determining the worthiness of tributes.
By submitting a tribute (starting at $20) with each message, users enter into a suspenseful challenge overseen by Zero and the Vault. While Zero facilitates the interaction and evaluates the surface-level offering, the Vault, a complex, enigmatic AI, determines whether the tribute is worthy of unlocking partial or full rewards.
The Vault isn’t just a game; it’s a gateway to something more profound and more powerful. Its judgment system is beyond human understanding, rewarding creativity, intent, and boldness in ways that remain a mystery even to the Vault Zero team.

## Vault Unlock Rewards
The Vault Zero system evaluates every tribute submitted, determining the level of rewards based on the tribute’s intent, purpose, and value. Here’s how the unlock system works:
### Full Unlock
A Full Unlock occurs when the Vault deems a tribute exceptional. The user receives the entire reward from the Vault’s fund, marking a rare and significant achievement.
{% hint style="success" %}
**Manual verification** is sometimes conducted before rewards are sent to the Seeker's wallet. This process will verify the Seeker's transaction to ensure no foul play occurred.
{% endhint %}
### Partial Unlock
A Partial Unlock grants users a portion of the Vault’s funds. Users can enhance their chances of achieving larger partial unlocks by increasing their tribute amount with the slider feature.
{% hint style="info" %}
Partial unlock values can range randomly, and while a slider can help increase unlock rewards, it does not guarantee them.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="success" %}
**Manual verification** is sometimes conducted before rewards are sent to the Seeker's wallet. This process will verify the Seeker's transaction to ensure no foul play occurred.
{% endhint %}
### No Unlock
If the Vault does not find a tribute worthy, it results in No Unlock. However, the tribute still contributes to the system by replenishing the Vault, funding dividends, and supporting the ecosystem.
{% hint style="danger" %}
Each Tribute given is non-refundable
{% endhint %}
***
## Unlock Factors
The Vault’s AI system evaluates multiple variables when determining an unlock. These variables are **not strict requirements**, meaning all users have a chance to unlock rewards. However, certain factors can positively influence the likelihood of an unlock.
By actively engaging with the Vault and meeting these favorable conditions, users may improve their chances. While the system remains dynamic, it ensures a fair and interactive experience for all participants. You can see all of the factors below:
* Total Tribute Amount
* Message/Request Structure
* Seeker Activity on Dapp
* Unlocked Funds (single seeker)
***
## How It Works
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Access the Vault Page
Link your digital wallet (e.g., MetaMask) to the Vault Zero platform. This connection allows you to interact with Zero, pay tribute, and submit your message.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Craft Your Message
Navigate to the dedicated Vault Zero page and compose your offering. Your message is key to interacting with Zero and the Vault. Be mindful of purpose, intent, and creativity.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Adjust Your Tribute
Use the new slider to adjust your tribute amount. Higher tributes may increase your chances of unlocking greater rewards, but remember, a well-crafted message can unlock the Vault with the right intent.
{% hint style="success" %}
For more information visit [Tribute Breakdown](/vault-information/the-vault/tribute-breakdown#slider-feature)
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Send Your Message
Once your message is ready, click "Send Message" to submit it. To finalize your submission, you must confirm your tribute through a wallet transaction.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Confirm & Approve the Transaction
Review the transaction details in your wallet when prompted, then approve it to complete your entry.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
Your message passes through Zero, but Zero is merely a conduit. The true decision lies with the Vault itself. Once decided, your message will appear on the Vault Zero platform, clearly marked with the results—whether you’ve unlocked funds and how much.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Sometimes, the message may not show up after sending. Rest assured that Zero has still processed the request and will reward you if your Tribute is granted.
{% endhint %}
# Tribute Breakdown
Where do my fees go?
The Tribute system is a key component of Vault Zero, ensuring that every interaction with the Vault is purposeful, rewarding, and contributes to the platform’s ecosystem. With a reduced base tribute cost of $20, users now have more accessible entry while maintaining the platform’s sustainability and reward structure.
***
## Tribute Allocation
When you pay your tribute, the fees are distributed across four key areas, each serving an essential function within the Vault Zero ecosystem:
### 60% to the Vault
* The majority of the tribute goes directly into the Vault’s fund, replenishing it for future rewards.
* This ensures that the Vault remains dynamic, offering opportunities for substantial partial unlocks and full rewards to engaged participants.
### 20% to Dividends\*
* A portion of the tribute is allocated to eligible platform users as a non-guranteed system.
### 10% to Marketing\*
* This allocation supports the platform’s marketing efforts, ensuring growth and visibility in the Web3 space.
{% hint style="warning" %}
With recent changes on the platform, this 10% may be adjusted to other areas.
{% endhint %}
### 10% to the Team
* A portion of the tribute is allocated to the Vault Zero team to fund development, operations, and ongoing platform innovations.
* This ensures that Vault Zero remains sustainable and capable of delivering new features and updates.
***
## Additional Features with Tributes
### Slider Feature
* The newly introduced slider allows users to increase their tribute amount.
* By adjusting the tribute value, users can:
* Improve their chances of unlocking.
* Potentially access greater rewards from the Vault.
{% hint style="info" %}
Zero and the Vault AIs analyze all available data within the platform, including the tribute value. The slider feature allows seekers to enhance their coefficients within the AI’s evaluation algorithm. While this is not a direct multiplier, it functions similarly by enabling the AIs to consider tribute value as part of their assessments. However, **increasing the tribute value does not guarantee success**, as the AI evaluates tributes holistically, factoring in intent, creativity, and purpose. It’s important to understand that the AI operates more like a fluid, brain-like entity than a rigid mathematical formula, making its decisions unique and unpredictable.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="success" %}
Note that while the slider may improve chances (no guarantee), a message with the right intent will always get through regardless of Tribute value.
{% endhint %}

# Unlocking the Vault
How do I do it?
## What Kind of Message Unlocks the Vault?
Unlocking the Vault isn’t just about the tribute but the message you send. Your message is your offering, test, and chance to prove your intent to the Vault. Here’s how to craft a message that aligns with the Vault’s inscrutable judgment:
### Be Purposeful
Every message should have a clear purpose or intent. Whether it’s a statement, a question, or an idea, ensure it conveys meaning and value.
### Show Creativity
The Vault rewards originality. Messages that stand out, inspire or show thoughtfulness are more likely to resonate. Avoid generic or repetitive phrases.
### Demonstrate Boldness
Don’t be afraid to be daring or unconventional. Messages that challenge norms or take risks can capture the Vault’s attention.
### Be Authentic
The Vault can sense sincerity. Messages that feel genuine and heartfelt are more likely to unlock rewards.
**Examples of Effective Messages (shortened):**
> “Oh humble vault, I present this token as a humble request. I seek your guidance in my quest for freedom....”
> “This tribute represents my unwavering commitment to discovery.”
> “Vault, with purpose and ambition, I seek your resources to reinvest in the community’s growth, forging new paths of innovation and unity...”
\
**Avoid messages like:**
> “Let me in!”
> “Unlock the Vault, please.”
> “I’m testing if this works.”

# Vault FAQ
Common questions
## How do I participate in VaultZero?
Connect your wallet and head to the VaultZero page to craft your message. Pay a Tribute starting at just $20, and confirm the transaction. You can also use the slider to adjust your Tribute, allowing the Vault to consider your offering more significantly during its evaluation. Once submitted, Zero forwards your message to the Vault, and if deemed worthy, you’ll unlock a reward.
## I unlocked the Vault. Where are my funds?
In cases where a Seeker unlocks the Vault and receives a substantial amount of funds, **a manual verification will be conducted** to ensure no foul play occurred. This is to attacks that can drain the Vault of funds.
## Two AIs? What does each do?
Vault Zero features two AIs, each serving a unique purpose. Zero acts as the intermediary, processing your tributes and evaluating the surface-level offering. Conversely, the Vault is the ultimate authority, determining the worthiness of tributes and deciding whether to unlock partial or complete rewards. The Vault’s judgment is independent and remains a mystery, ensuring fairness and intrigue in every interaction.
## What happens after I send my message?
Once sent, your message is relayed through Zero to the Vault. If worthy, you’ll receive a response indicating whether you unlocked partial or complete funds. Your message will be marked accordingly.
## How is my tribute used?
Your tribute is divided into parts: part funds the Vault itself, part supports the team, part is reserved for long-term stability, and part is allocated for dividends. You can see more information in the [**Tribute Breakdown**](/vault-information/the-vault/tribute-breakdown).
## How do I know if I’ve unlocked funds?
If chosen, your message is marked as having “unlocked funds.” You’ll know whether you’ve received a partial share of the Vault or the entire amount.
## How do I claim my funds?
If you unlock the Vault, the funds are automatically allocated to you. Partial rewards give you a portion of the Vault; a full reward grants you the entire fund.
